Did Tudor Just Launch the Must-Have Chronograph of the Year?

Like the pink version from earlier this year, the Black Bay Chrono Blue gets the upgraded bracelet and T-fit clasp.

As I mentioned previously, those pink chronos are incredibly rare and expensive, so I’m happy to report that the new blue chrono is using the exact same bracelet as ol’ Pinky. Five links, T-fit clasp, the lot.

Everything else on the Black Bay Chrono is unchanged from previous versions, including the box-style sapphire crystal, the screw-down pushers enabling 200m of water resistance, and the excellent COSC-certified Manufacture Calibre MT5813 automatic chronograph movement featuring a vertical clutch, a column wheel and a 70-hour power reserve.

The Chronograph of the Year?

2024 was looking like the year of the White Omega Speedmaster, which debuted back in March and has consistently been one of the year’s most talked-about releases ever since.

But with this new Black Bay Chrono Blue joining the ranks of the viral pink version, I dunno … Tudor is making a pretty strong case that the almost-forgotten Black Bay Chrono might just be the most hyped chronograph of 2024.
